Nulx documentation

Hyper-V

Public guidance for the primary Nulx Linux virtual-machine validation target.

Verified target

Hyper-V Generation 2 is the primary virtual QA target for the current Nulx Linux development line. The current exact contrast-refined candidate passed live boot, installation to a newly created empty virtual disk, graceful shutdown, verified ISO ejection, direct installed-disk boot, and arrival at the Nulx greeter without the automatic virtual keyboard. Testing stopped at authentication.

Reference configuration

Secure Boot has not completed its release validation and should not be represented as supported yet.

  • Generation 2 virtual machine
  • 4 virtual processors
  • Dynamic memory with 2 GB startup and up to 8 GB
  • 80 GB dynamically expanding virtual disk
  • UEFI boot

Safety

Use a new, disposable virtual disk. Keep test workloads isolated and only target systems you own or are explicitly authorized to assess.
